but i got my new Creative Sound Blaster ZXR + Sennheiser 558's in and my god.... coming from on board sound and turtle beach px21's i love music again idk if any of you posted when i asked about a sound card but im loving it!

how would i go about about adjusting the settings for optimal use, i usually listen to alternative, hard rock, and country with mixtures of other things. Thnx ahead of time!

I upgraded to the Creative Sound Blaster ZXR about four months ago. I am using the Turtle Beach PX51 cordless headphones because I just had to have cordless.

I don't listen to a lot of music mostly just for gaming. So far very happy with the sound card! Nice set up you have there with the Sennheiser's.

wait... Are you using 3.5mm jacks to connect it to the soundcard? If you are not, you are not even using the main feature of the soundcard (DAC).
If you are using optical, any of the cheapest soundcards with DDL! encoding can do the same (Xonar DX, recon3d, sbz...).Edited by Tiihokatti - 9/25/13 at 12:59am
